Are you prepared to save a life in the event of an accident?

﻿﻿﻿Coast Guardsman Jose Blanco saved Lane Tippett’s life last month when the 19-year-old lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. Blanco, who was the first person on the scene, applied pressure to Tippett’s thigh to stop the bleeding. If Blanco hadn’t acted, Tippett likely would have bled out and died.

Are you prepared to save a life in the event of an accident?

Yes. I carry a first aid kit in my car to assist until the professionals arrive.
